Therese - 40 books in 2016

[Therese]

Hi

I joined GoodReads just a couple of days ago. This seems like my kind of fun!

I am from Norway, so sometimes my spelling won`t be correct. After some reading in this community, that does not look like a problem.

I have no idea of how many books I read in a year, so I think 40 should be possible. Looking forward to widen my range as I follow other challenges too.

I have finished one book so far: The Abomination

[Megan]

Welcome to the group! Congrats on finishing your first book in 2016!

Now I have finished my second book:
Pergamentet

It took some time. The book was ok. I loved the twist in the end, but it had too much annoying stuff to be a good reading-experience.

Something is wrong when the best part is the writer's comment in the end.

I finished my third book last night:

Den grenseløse

It is the sixth book I read by Jussi Adler-Olsen, and he is one of my favorite authors.

This book wasn't as cruel as the earlier have been, and that suited me.

I have now finished The Hunger Games triology


This was a "joy" to read. The story is heart-breaking, but the writing is light and easy. I do like the characters with their flaws and strengths. I do compare it with the Divergent series, and in my opinion is Hunger Games miles ahead - both in story and writing.

I have finished this month's re-read The Outsiders

It was weird reading a book I havn't read since high school. It was a plesant surprise that the book could have been the script for the movie. I have watched that movie so many times, that I sat and saw the movie in my head while reading.

Good luck with your challenge, Therese! I still need to read The Outsiders - somehow I completely missed reading it in school.

[Alison]

I never read the Outsiders in school either! So you're in good company Cassandra!
